Summary: The value seems just above the monthly price. And this box only came with 3 items instead of “4-6” as described. But they’re probably higher value than the smaller items that are often included. I love that this box focuses just on heroes. I will probably check out future boxes.

By Your Command Tshirt (Retail $10?) – This is an exclusive shirt via Shirtpunch.com. It’s a fun design. And I’m happy they included the original BSG Cylon, as I’m a big fan – but not of the reboot. Something for all fans!

USS Enterprise Springz (Retail $3-5?) – This is another exclusive. This Original series Star Trek ship has a permanent sticker on the bottom to mount to your car dash. I don’t like putting something permanent on my dash, but I LOVE this ship. So I’ll either just cut out a smaller part of the sticker or keep it on my Star Trek bookshelf with the other memorabilia.

Jurassic Galaxy Print (Retail n/a) – This is a really fun print for Chris Pratt fans – with a Jurassic Park/Guardians of the Galaxy mashup! My only complaint is that it’s on cheap matt, cardboard and not in a protective sleeve. The Comic Con box does a great job with it’s prints. I wish Nerd Block would do better or not include them at all.

And the best item in the box…BB-8 Plush from Star Wars: The Force Awakens! (Retail $9.96) – This super cute droid is the one I’ve been looking for. It’s plush so the spherical design doesn’t want to stay upright, despite the beads at the bottom weighing it down. But I don’t care. I just propped it up against something else. Love it.

Summary: Nerd Block had another great box for me this month. I was very happy. Despite several exclusive items, it’s easy to see that the value is very comparable to what was spent. And exclusive items are great. I’m most excited about the shirt and BB-8 plush – this made the whole box worthwhile.

ComicCon Boxis “a premium monthly box service that brings everything Comic Con to the doorsteps of fans.” The price is $29.99 plus shipping.

This is the one geeky box that ships earlier than stated. And they have great, prompt customer service via email! The theme of this box was “Back to Old School.”

Shell and Back Print (Retail n/a – exclusive) – This print from Rob Prior is excellent. As a Turtles fan, I’ll be holding onto this.

Batman Adventures #12 Variant Comic (Retail $? – I don’t see it listed online anywhere) – The reason this wasn’t #1? It’s the first appearance of Harley Quinn. Very cool.

Wonder Woman Print (Retail n/a) – Wow, this artwork is incredible. This is by far my favorite item in this month’s box.

Heroes of Newerth Game Download with Avatar – Not a gamer, so not for me.

Street Fighter Pixel Bricks (Retail $12.99) – I’m not a Street Fighter fan, but I love building things with legos and bricks, so I haven’t decided if I’m keeping this to pass along to my nephew or not.

Pac-Man Mini Plush (Retail $9-10) – I appreciate Pac Man for being Old School, but don’t really care to own a plushy. Looks like Lois Lane may get another dog toy.

Scribblenauts Unmasked Series 3 Blind Box Mini Figure (Retail $6.44 on Amazon) – I received Superman which is very appropriate.

Funko Pop! Harley Quinn (Retail $9.99) – This is the cute, Roller Derby version. I’m always excited to add to my Pop! collection, if it’s DC or Marvel. And I don’t have this one yet.

“Power Up Box is a monthly subscription service that provides epic geeks and gamers with a “Christmas morning, gift opening experience.” We pride ourselves in providing the best gear and gadgets to assure immense satisfaction every month, every time.”

Transformers Tshirt (Retail $10?) – Since this was a review box, all they had left was XXL, so it’s quite big. Subscribers will get the size they request. Even though this is huge, I love it. It’s a very soft vintage look and feel. Plus, I love Transformers. It’s a bummer that they didn’t have my size, but it’ll be a nice sleep shirt!

TMNT Mystery Mini (Retail $6.99) – I’m a Turtles fan and love Funko mystery boxes. These are almost always a win for me.

The Simpsons Shot Glass (Retail $3.75) – I hate the Simpsons, but this is just a filler item. And it does fit the theme.

Tweety Iron-On Patch (Retail $3.99) – I quit collecting patches in middle school, but I have niece who will love this.

Futurama Bender Funko POP! (Retail $11.80 on Amazon currently) – Usually, I love Funko items, especially POPs! But I’m not a fan of Futurama, so this may be the only Funko POP that I don’t keep around.

Sonic Stress Ball (Retail $8.99) – The kids in my life love Sonic, tho don’t really have any stress in their lives yet. Still, this will be a cute toy for one of them.

Summary: The value is certainly worth the cost of this fun subscription box. Even though the theme wasn’t geared toward me, I’ll still keep a couple things and give the rest to the young ones in my life. I’m impressed with the value, for being one of the cheaper geeky boxes out there!

September’s theme is PIXELS, so that will be another fun box for youngsters and the young at heart!

Summary: The value barely surpassed the cost this month. I wasn’t really impressed, even if I had liked anything besides the Deadpool stuffed toy. I may try another box in the future, if the theme interests me.

Can you tell Lois Lane is used to modeling for me? She kept getting in the way for this one!

Each Comic Block comes with 1 tshirt, 3 comics, and 1 collectible. And a nice card details each of the included items.

Spider-Gwenom Shirt – This could have been a hit for me if it had been just Spider-Gwen – but the face is Venom, and isn’t something I’d wear out and about.

DC Comics Bombshells #1 – A re-imagining of several famous DC characters as pin-up style gals. The feminist in me just doesn’t get anything out of this one.Red Sonja/Conan #1 – As I pretty much read mostly superhero comics, I actually haven’t read any Conan comics. I was happy to see this included.X-Files Season 11 #1 – This is the comic I was most excited about – and of course, looking forward to the upcoming new series! This was great timing.
Heart and Brain Print – This was the “collectible” included in the box. Quite a disappointment – not only in the comic itself but it was just on a piece of cardboard.

Summary: Other than a couple of the comics, this was a miss for me in terms of value.

This box was sent to SciFiChick.com for review purposes.

The theme for August was “SuperWhoLock”
I love that they have such a specific theme, so you know if it’d interest you or not.

SuperWhoLock Tshirt (Retail $10?) – This is, of course, an exclusive shirt for CollectibleGEEK. Fans of these shows will appreciate this fun blend.

Sherlock Smiley Magnet (Upper right) – This is a large magnet, almost the size of a half sheet of paper.CG Exclusive Micro Poster 3-Pack (Retail n/a) – Each mini poster focuses on each different show. Another exclusive!

Summary:
Even though it’s hard to determine pricing on exclusives, the value is obviously greater than the cost. And for collectors who love these three shows – exclusives are better than retail products. I’ll definitely be signing up for future caches, when I see something else I like.

September’s theme is “Quest Accepted,” for all you gamers. Go check it out!
